Superstar Ajay Devgan will soon be seen in the film 'Runway 34' which is set to release by the end of this month. The film is an aviation thriller and it also marks Ajay's return to the director's chair after 6 years. In a recent media interaction, Ajay spoke about how he was roped in as the director and lead actor of this exciting project.

According to a report in Koimoi, Ajay stated, "Two years ago, barely a month into the pandemic, when things seemed to be going slow, the writer-duo Sandeep Kewlani and Aamil Keeyan Khan narrated the script of ‘Runway 34’ to me. I liked the script but I wanted certain changes. As promised, they worked on it during the lockdown and came back to me with a refreshed version.”

Sharing how he was tempted to direct the film, Ajay shared, "Coming back to the script, Sandeep and Aamil had brought in the excitement and the drama. Then we worked on the script for another four months with my regular inputs. I was happy with the end result and also absolutely drawn to it. I decided this would be my third directorial. In December, 2020, we launched the film and started to shoot it as soon as the lockdown was partially withdrawn. Here we are today with a film that I am truly proud to represent."

'Runway 34' also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Rakul Preet Singh and Boman Irani in pivotal roles and it is set to release theatrically on 29th of April.
